Hey all, i got a 523 Ice Cube Kit put in about a year ago and now im loosing coolant out the expantion tank. it only comes out under a good load. I have no white smoke out the exhaust, ive taken the radiator cap off and there are no bubbles even if i give it some throttle, and no coolant in the oil. runs great besides having to add coolant. I also put an aftermarket water pump on not sure if that has anything to do with it, stock radiator and cap. Im just hoping its not the head gasket. want to check out all my options before i rip it open. was going to put the system under pressure and test it but dont have the right size cap. anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Also check out my Carb Question. Are they worth the money? Do they really make a night and day difference. I have the head ported and polished cams ect. stock carb. 2 1/2 inch intake with k&n.

Thanks again.

Sounds like the head gasket is leaking compression into the coolant system. Check the torque on the head bolts first. The bigger carb will let more air into the engine, with all the other mods, it should make a noticeable difference.

      Hello all! I’m new to the 4 wheeler world, but not new to the mechanic world. I was a diesel mechanic for many years and last year got into jet skis. I just bought a 1987 Yamaha moto 4 350 and now learning the ins and outs of 2 stroke engines. Looking forward to learning all the things.

      I have a 2022/23 Honda Rubicon, and was wondering if there is an exhaust deflector available.  I have a rear basket w/ chainsaw mounts, a winch on the rear, and a hitch.  When I am working at the rear of the quad, the exhaust puffs and hits us, while we work.  It is quite annoying and wound like to be able to direct the exhaust downward.  Is there anything that you know of that would work w/o creating any back pressure that might disrupt the engine?  I’ve been searching for something like this, but can only find ones for small engines and silencers that would interfere with the winch.
